Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator

What is Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator?

Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator is a mechanical equipment used for vertical or inclined conveying of powdered, granular or small pieces of materials. It is widely used in cement, building materials, chemical, metallurgical and other industries. It lifts materials from low to high through a bucket fixed on a chain or belt. It has the characteristics of high efficiency, stability and good sealing.

Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator Application Industry

- Cement manufacturing: used for the transportation of raw materials and finished products in the cement production process.

- Building materials: used for the lifting of building materials such as limestone, gypsum, sand and gravel.

- Chemical industry: used for the transportation of chemical raw materials, fertilizers, plastic particles, etc.

- Metallurgical industry: used for the lifting of materials such as ore, mineral powder, coke, etc.

- Grain processing: used for the vertical transportation of granular materials such as grains and feed.

Working Principle of Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator

1. Loading: The material enters from the bottom feed port, and through the continuous movement of the hopper, the material is scooped up and loaded into the hopper.

2. Lifting: The hopper rises vertically or obliquely along the track of the elevator with the movement of the chain or belt.

3. Unloading: When the hopper reaches the top, the material is discharged from the hopper by gravity or centrifugal force and enters the discharge port.

4. Cycle: The empty hopper continues to move downward and returns to the bottom for the next loading, forming a continuous working cycle.

Features of Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator

1. Efficient conveying: It can continuously and stably convey a large amount of material, and the lifting height can reach tens of meters.

2. Good sealing: It adopts a closed structure to reduce dust spillage and meet environmental protection requirements.

3. Compact structure: It occupies a small area and is suitable for places with limited space.

4. Smooth operation: It adopts chain or belt drive, which runs smoothly and has low noise.

5. Easy maintenance: simple structure, easy maintenance and repair.

6. Strong adaptability: capable of conveying a variety of materials, including powder, granular and small pieces.

Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator Parameters

Equipment model	Lifting capacity range (t/h)	Applicable materials
Small	10 - 50	Cement, fly ash, grain
Medium	50 - 200	Limestone, gypsum, fertilizer
Large	200 - 500	Ore, coke, sand and gravel

- Lifting height: usually 10 meters to 50 meters, can be customized according to needs.

- Conveying capacity: the conveying volume per hour ranges from a few tons to hundreds of tons.

- Hopper capacity: designed according to material characteristics and conveying volume, the capacity ranges from a few liters to tens of liters.

- Driving power: depending on the lifting height and conveying volume, the power ranges from a few kilowatts to tens of kilowatts.

- Running speed: usually 0.8 m/s to 1.6 m/s.

- Material: the hopper and shell are usually made of wear-resistant steel plate or stainless steel, and the chain or belt is made of high-strength material.

Cement Conveying Bucket Elevator Structure

1. Driving device: including motor, reducer and drive wheel, providing power to move the chain or belt.

2. Hopper: fixed on the chain or belt, used for loading and lifting materials.

3. Chain or belt: as the support and transmission part of the hopper, driving the hopper up and down.

4. Shell: closed structure to prevent material spillage and dust diffusion.

5. Feed port: located at the bottom, the material enters the hopper through the feed port.

6. Discharge port: located at the top, the material is discharged from the hopper through the discharge port.

7. Tensioning device: used to adjust the tightness of the chain or belt to ensure smooth operation.

8. Safety device: including overload protection, emergency shutdown, etc. to ensure safe operation of the equipment.
